We are constantly, as a daily endeavor, being asked to forecast the future. What will the weather be like tomorrow? Will stocks go down? And, no matter what job you may have interviewed for in the past, you were probably asked “where do you see yourself in five […]
During “regular” times it is often imperative to find moments of solitude. Imperative to find gifts for oneself. It may seem odd to note but one need to make appointments with oneself. I know I needed that reminder. Work could be all-consuming. Other’s expectations could be all-consuming. Thus, […]
Someone texted me a few hours ago that I was where I needed to be. Or rather, I was where I was needed. It is a most wonderful feeling to be needed. No one can discount that. However, I find myself second guessing my recent life choices. Six […]
